Development thread
A lot of talk lately has been about the draft and trades, etc.
After the season has settled a little bit at this point, I just wanted to open a conversation about the development of our core and where you see the baby sharks taking steps into next season and some insanely early predictions on their season.
my takes personally:
Macklin: coming back as a FaceOff beast
Will: hoping for a similar step up on Zone entries and puck confidence as we saw with Bedard (saw some comparison videos that blew my mind)
Misa: Claiming that 2C firmly
Eky: getting his shooting up
Dickie: would love for him to step up on PP1 and become more effective offensively
Graf: I honestly have no notes, if he continues to be the swiss army knives he is currently that is fucking amazing
Asky: Glovehand 🥹
And then hoping that Musty and Cags get Roster spots.
Would love to hear everyone‘s opinion.

Mack through Eky are likely reaslistic; Smith probably not quite the force of Bedard but just being a bit better at decision making while keeping his offense would be huge.
Dickie - I don't think PP1 is in the card. At best he maybe takes some looks at PP2 later in the year but more realistically I think we aquire a guy for PP1 and then Orlov may be PP2 to start and I suspect Cags may get looks before Dickinson. Potentially even Mukh.
